The worst middle school. I've had two children come through here under two different administrations. Each experience was worse than the last. The children are ruthless and the teachers are petty. Please avoid at all cost.

The administration is wack. They keep messing up our schedules bc they can't be bothered to try and fix anything properly, and they keep adding more dumb rules like "there's no talking in the cafeteria or else you'll get Saturday school >:(". One time they literally punished a kid for sneezing while our classes were being held back from going to lunch. Also it's rlly dirty, like at lunch one of my friends threw a piece of lunchables cheese at the wall and it just kinda,,,,stuck there?? It's been at least 5-6 months and the cheese. Is still. There. Nobody cleans the school. Basically gms literally has no idea what it's doing. (Ghs is good though).

Very disappointing. My son had no issues at GES but GMS is the opposite. Nothing but problems from day one. Constant schedule changes, teachers do not respond to emails and neither do the principals. Excessive bullying takes place and the teachers ignore it.

I personally am disappointed in the optional program at this school. My child has had a hard time learning here; effectively, that is. Students have no respect for each other, or towards authority for that matter. Students are not given hardly any motivation to succeed. Teachers that do not actually...
